| Report 115: Air transport services in regional Australia: trends and access | July 2008 |
By amalgamating and optimising existing information, regional aviation data were collated for the first time into comprehensive time series statistics using a geographical approach. The report used the constructed database to showcase analyses on several aspects of the regional aviation industry over time. It provides comprehensive data analyses of regional aviation trends, geospatial analyses on the accessibility of regional air services, projections of future regional aviation trends, and explorations of possible associations between key socio-demographic factors and the level of access to air services in regional communities.
Through the development of a consistent historical database for regional aviation,this study establishes a platform for more future research in regional aviation. The database offers flexibility to conduct various cross sectional or time series analyses; potentially in conjunction with other data sources. |

| Working Paper 41 - Regional Aviation Competitiveness | January 2000 |
| Regional airlines can be a lifeline in remote parts of Australia. Competitiveness is an important issue in the regional aviation industry. Although regional aviation has undergone deregulation in most jurisdictions over the last decade, many single-operator routes still exist. The impact of deregulation on air services in regional Australia is an issue of interest to all levels of Government, to the passengers who use regional airlines, and to the regional airlines themselves. |

| Report 88: Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Australian Transport: Long Term Projections | March 1995 |
| This Report provides a 'business as usual' scenario for the emission of greenhouse gases from the Australian transport sector for the period 1993-94 to 2014-15. Models for emissions from cars, trucks, rail, sea and air transport reflect sectoral activity, fuel intensity and emission intensity factors. The models indicate that emissions from the Australian car fleet over the next two decades will decline while emissions from trucks and aircraft are likely to grow quite strongly. Background information and historical data series are also provided. |
|
|
| Report 86: International Aviation: Trends and Issues | December 1993 |
| This Report analyses the historical trends and current issues facing the aviation industry and comments on possible future developments in international aviation. The key areas of investigation include: airline economics; international traffic for scheduled and nonscheduled (charter) passenger services and cargo; traffic forecasts; the regulatory regime; airline operating and financial performance and capital structures; and airline growth, especially alliances and the potential for airline globalisation. In addition, appendices on special interest areas covering the creation of the European Community single aviation market, environmental regulation, airframe manufacturers and aircraft leasing are included, as are supporting data for the extensive array of graphics in the Report. |

| Report 81: The Progress of Aviation Reform | June 1993 |
This Report is the fifth of a series of publications monitoring the progress of aviation reforms which the Bureau of Transport and Communications Economics produced from 1989. Earlier reports concentrated on domestic airline deregulation, but clearly the distinction between domestic and
international has now blurred. Accordingly, this report has a broader focus in covering some of the wider aspects of aviation reform and the changes which have occurred so far in the structure, conduct and performance of the Australian aviation industry, as well as examining in depth the net welfare gains from domestic deregulation. |
|
|
| Report 80: Quality of Service in Australian Passenger Aviation | November 1992 |
| Several important aviation reform initiatives have been taken in the past five years. These include the economic deregulation of interstate services, the establishment of the Federal Airports Corporation and the Civil Aviation Authority as statutory authorities, multiple designation of Australia's international air services, the start of negotiations with New Zealand on a single trans-Tasman aviation market, and the merger and privatisation of Qantas and Australian Airlines. |

| Occasional Paper 85 - Intrastate Bus Services in New South Wales: Trial Entry Liberalisation | November 1987 |
| The Bureau of Transport Economics (BTE) agreed to a request from the Commissioner of the New South Wales Department of Motor Transport (DMT) to undertake a study to monitor a six-month trial. The trial period extended from 17 November 1986 to 17 May 1987 and was confined to the Sydney-Canberra and Sydney-North Coast of New South Wales corridors. The information upon which the results of this study are based was obtained from a review of official statistics relating to passenger travel, information supplied by industry sources, New South Wales Government instrumentalities and from surveys of passengers on bus and train services undertaken by the BTE. The surveys were carried out in January and April 1987 to provide profile characteristics of passengers travelling during peak and off-peak periods respectively. |

| Occasional Paper 71 - Benefits of Urban Public Transport Subsidies in Australia | May 1985 |
| This Paper was commissioned by the Bureau of Transport Economics to expand the Bureau's understanding of the nature and extent of subsidies in Australian transportation. The Paper looks at public transport in Australian cities and some of the methodologies which can be used in the evaluation of benefits and costs arising from changes in fare structures or from changes in service levels. The methodologies and data used were based on publicly available sources with minimum use being made of confidential data or analysis. However, the assumptions underlying this study reflect the author's views and are not necessarily those of the Bureau of Transport Economics. |

| Report 27: Urban Transport: Capital Requirements 1977-78 to 1979-80 | February 1977 |
| This is the fourth report prepared by the BTE on capital investment needs of transport in urban areas. It differs in a number of important respects from the earlier reports in that it deals with investment needs for roads as well as for public transport; it analyses the demand for and supply of urban transport as a whole rather than simply presenting the results of evaluations of specific capital investment proposals; and the report includes some consideration of urban areas outside the State capital cities. |
|
|
| Report 22 Part's A, B and C: Consumer Preferences in Urban Buses and Bus Services | August 1975 |
| This Report presents the results of a consumer preference survey into bus design and bus service characteristics. The survey was conducted by the BTE together with the Metropolitan (Perth) Transport Trust, and consisted of two parts: household interviews carried out by the Australian Bureau of Statistics; and questionnaires distributed to travellers using the Perth suburban bus service. |
|
|
| Report 18: Assessment of Investment in Urban Public Transport 1977-78 to 1979-80 | July 1975 |
| This is the fourth Report by the BTE on capital investment in urban public transport. It differs from previous Reports produced in that it presents an estimate of economically warranted investment for the period 1977-78 to 1979-80 rather than an evaluation of a specific program of projects put forward by State Authorities. |
|
|
| Report 14: Review of Public Transport Investment Proposals for Australian Capital Cities, 1974-75 | January 1975 |
| This Report surveys proposals provided by the States for investment in urban public transport. As in previous reports, the BTE has limited analysis to benefit cost and financial evaluations. While refraining from direct comment on the administration, planning, pricing and other activities, the BTE has attempted to ensure that the proposals put forward comprise an appropriate program consistant wih long term projections with regard to urban planning and social objectives. |
